La Pistola

Handle: Eucalyptus burl – in the shape of a pistol grip, “rough” surface

Fittings: Carved bronze – antique finish

Sheath: Leather belt sheath – fighter style

Blade Length: 26.5cm / 10 1/2″

Total Length: 43cm / 17″

Misc: The idea behind this piece was to make a knife interpretation of the old flint lock pistol. The upper guard resembles the gun hammer, the ring the trigger-guard. The shape of the handle is also quite specific for this type of pistol. Photo by Högström
